**NEW TO 2026/'27 SEASON**

Hockey Canada is launching "The Shift Forward: Evolving Hockey Culture" - a new national learning and development program for parents/guardians, coaches, and team officials.

​

This new program replaces the requirement for Respect in Sport. Please note: Existing Respect-in-Sport (RIS) certifications will continue to be recognized until their expiry dates during the transition period.

This modernized education program is designed to support a healthier hockey culture both on and off the ice through more engaging, age-appropriate, and progressive training opportunities. 

If your Respect in Sport has expired, follow the instructions below to complete the Shift Forward Program.

Still have questions? Please contact IMHA's Registrar - indusminorhockey.registrar@gmail.com
